The large cat, possibly a bobcat or lynx, was spotted in the area of Middle Road, Ledgewood Drive and Pleasant Hill Road in Maine, police said.

The dog’s owner heard a scuffle with another animal Wednesday night. The dog has not been seen since, police said.

“Most often incidents such as this involve smaller pets (cats) and can be attributed to fox, coyote or fisher,” police said. “Due to the sighting and missing small dog, we are making you aware and asking you to be cautious leaving pets outside unsupervised or unattended, especially after daylight hours.”
